Dave Coleman in Hospital
The National Federation of Demolition Contractors has received word that Coleman & Company's Dave Coleman is currently in hospital with septicaemia.
Dave went to A&E at Good Hope Hospital on Wednesday last week with a swollen leg, temperature and stomach pains. He was admitted to a private ward before being transferred to the Intensive Therapy Unit.
His current condition is stable and during the past 24 hours he has started to take on food. His blood pressure and heart rate are also stabilising; both postive signs. His body now has to fight the infection but, as those of you that know him, Dave is a fighter and a tough man - He's tenacious and not the type to take no for an answer. It is these qualities that he will draw upon to fight the infection.
According to Mark, Darren and Bridget Coleman, the care he is receiving at Good Hope is superb. They are confident that Dave is in good hands and could not ask for a better level of care.
His family have, however, asked for respect during this sensitive situation, which is a private matter for the Coleman family. They understand the concern of his many friends and colleagues in the industry who will be concerned about his condition, and will continue to keep us all updated as best they can.
